Will internship work assignments pay my tuition and fees?

The purpose of an internship is educational. The program is designed to provide you with an opportunity to gain practical experience, which complements classroom instruction. It is rare that employers will offer partial or full payment of tuition and fees. Even when tuition assistance occurs, you will usually be required to pay your university fees personally and then be reimbursed by the employer. Be sure that you thoroughly understand the employer’s policies and procedures for tuition reimbursement in the rare instance it is available.
